# Abstract

I am an embedded systems architect with insight picked up over the course of a
creative, entrepreneurial career in systems administration, network security,
enterprise architecture, and embedded systems engineering.  I enjoy all things
embedded, and bring a “big picture” lens to projects -- from concept to board
layout, bring-up, manufacturing and support -- evaluating cybersecurity
concerns from firmware to cloud-scale deployment.
